DECODING Fire, Burglary, and Insurance Ratings

When choosing a safe, it’s important to know that each type is designed to guard against specific threats. Fire safes protect contents from high heat using insulated walls or fire-resistant materials but offer limited theft protection. Burglary safes feature reinforced steel to prevent break-ins but may not withstand fire. For full coverage, dual-rated safes and gun safes combine fire resistance with strong locking mechanisms.  If the safe is for insurance purposes, check for certifications such as TL-15, TL-30, or TL-30X6 from independent labs like Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Always confirm the official labels to ensure the safe meets the promised protection standards before purchasing.

Safe Testing and Certification Explained

Safe testing is a meticulous process designed to ensure reliable protection in real-world scenarios. Fire-rated safes are exposed to extreme furnace heat and subjected to drop tests that mimic building collapse, requiring internal temperatures to remain below 350°F. Burglary-rated safes are rigorously attacked using specialized tools to evaluate their resistance.


Certifications like TL-15 and TL-30 indicate a safe’s ability to withstand 15 or 30 minutes of focused attack, excluding pauses for tool changes. This ensures that certified safes provide meaningful security against experienced intruders. If you’re unsure which safe is right for your home or office, the Securitex Locksmith team can help you select the best option to protect your valuables.
